Hijacker overpowered on Euro-flight

We can’t take hand cream on an aircraft, but in Old Europe they’re still letting knives through their pre-flight security checks. From Reuters;

Witnesses said the man put a small knife to the throat of a female flight attendant and held her for a few minutes.

“The man grabbed the stewardess from behind her back and pointed the knife. She was in difficulty and tried to turn around,” a passenger named Sofia told reporters.

His moment of glory lasted only seconds;

“He held her for just a few minutes and then the other flight attendants intervened and passengers helped hold the man to the floor,” she said.

Italian media said police had identified the man as a 48-year-old citizen of Kazakhstan who worked in Paris.

And they wonder why terrorists are getting through European security with underwear bombs. Thank goodness passengers have learned not to be passive.

Fox says it was nail clippers and not a knife. My point remains valid.
